Does anyone know how they will set up areas for teams? I was there with my sister and she swam there and there seemed like there was little to no shade and very little room for everybody. It's not like Sarastoa where the spectator area was covered.What's going to happen, anyone know?
Debbie,
There is pretty big difference between "whining" and making sure people are prepared for what could be harsh conditions. As we've seen in this thread people had a rough time in Tempe with an overcrowded pool deck an minimal shade.
Rather than being defensive maybe you should consider offering up some possible solutions such as recomending a local company that people can rent pop tents from. Keep in mind that 1600+ swimmers of all ages and health conditions coming to a meet that may or may not have rook to get out of the sun is something folks need to be ready for.
As for Ft. Lauderdale "stepping up" I applaud them for doing so and like many others really look forward o coming to the meet. The bigger issue about other teams not wanting to host nationals was how the championship comittee was handling bids, something they have addressed.
